FlashCards++ is an awesome application and utility and it is the best at what it does. The app lets you make virtual flash cards which you can use for many purposes, plus, its got tons of other awesome features! FlashCards++ is easy to use and when you launch the app, it teaches you how to make use of all the features.

Positives

FlashCards++ is a great and really useful utility. You can create collections of flashcards and set the languages that the text should be in and you can select a different language for either sides of a flashcard — a really useful feature if you’re learning a foreign language.

After creating and naming your collection, there’s lots you can do! First of all, you must add some cards to the collection and after tapping ‘Create Cards’, if you can choose the text to display on the front side, and the back side of each card, also, to spice up your flashcards, you can add images as well.

After you’ve created one flashcard, you can tap ‘Next’ and so on. After you’re done making flashcards, you can choose to learn them first and there are many options from which you can choose from such as randomizing them. Once you think you’ve had enough practice, you can tap ‘Test Cards’ to begin.

The flashcards appear one by one on your screen and after reading the question, you can think of the answer, and then tap the screen to see the back side, from there, you can tap on how good your answer was (like Fail, Good, etc). You can also check the stats of those cards, like when they were created and stuff. When you’re done with all the cards, it shows your overall score, percentage, and stats, and you can choose to do it again and again till you’re satisfied.

There are also other options like studying lapsed cards, viewing all cards, card sets, and you can also import cards. You can also choose to export and share you cards in a number of ways. You can also adjust tons of other basic settings like text size, font, etc.

To ensure that you never lose your flashcards, you can use the in app feature to backup your data on DropBox and restore from it at any time.

Since you can have multiple card collections, and within them different card sets, all of your stuff will always remain organized

Negatives

The thing I didn’t like about FlashCards++ was that the flashcards looked pretty plain and got boring after a while, so it would be great if we could choose from different themes, or use our own pictures as backgrounds for the flashcards.

Bottom Line

FlashCards++ is an excellent utility for studying, memorizing and other purposes of that sort. It has a quite reasonable price when comparing it to other utilities of its kind and could be perfect due to its ability to organize your cards, let you easily learn them, tell you your score and stats, but the lack of themes/custom backgrounds is a down side.
